Treatment for Psoriasis
What Causes Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder that is triggered by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from an overactive immune system that leads to an excessive production of skin cells. This rapid cell turnover creates the characteristic scales and red patches associated with psoriasis.
Different Types of Psoriasis
Psoriasis can manifest in several different forms, with each type having its unique characteristics
Plaque Psoriasis
The most common form, characterized by raised, reddish patches covered with white or silvery scales.
Guttate Psoriasis
Small, dot-like lesions that often appear after a streptococcal throat infection.
Nverse Psoriasis
Smooth, red lesions that typically occur in skin folds, such as under the breasts or in the groin area.
Pustular Psoriasis
Raised, pus-filled blisters surrounded by red skin
Erythrodermic Psoriasis
Widespread redness, shedding of scales, and severe itching, often requiring immediate medical attention.
